My graphics card is: # lspci | grep VGA 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200 Ultra] (rev a1) I installed the beta NVidia driver from here: http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/testing/6/i386/ $ rpm -qa | grep nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-1.0.9626-2.lvn6 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-devel-1.0.9626-2.lvn6 kmod-nvidia-1.0.9626-1.2.6.18_1.2798.fc6 I tried to enable Desktop Effects but it refused to work. I then added Load "extmod" to the Module section in xorg.conf and I could turn on the Effects. Rotating the desktop cube works fine. The menus wobble just fine. However: - gnome-terminal is just a white rectangle with nothing in it (even if I blindly type something, it doesn't show up, although the commands are executed, so it's just a display issue) and the title bar with the window buttons (minimize, maximize, close) is not displayed. - any window is displayed without the title bar. Other applications than the terminal (Thunderbird, Text Editor) are displayed fine but without the title bar. I added this to xorg.conf: Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" EndSection ...but still no improvement. I attached xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log to this message. Any suggestions? Desktop Effects work just fine out of the box on my laptop with an ATI card. -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/ # Xorg configuration created by system-config-display Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "single head configuration" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Section "Files" ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia" ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules" EndSection Section "Module" Load "glx" Load "extmod" EndSection Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "us" EndSection Section "Monitor" ### Comment all HorizSync and VertSync values to use DDC: ### Comment all HorizSync and VertSync values to use DDC: ### Comment all HorizSync and VertSync values to use DDC: ### Comment all HorizSync and VertSync values to use DDC: ### Comment all HorizSync and VertSync values to use DDC: ### Comment all HorizSync and VertSync values to use DDC: Identifier "Monitor0" ModelName "SGI 20-inch GDM-20E21" ### Comment all HorizSync and VertSync values to use DDC: HorizSync 30.0 - 96.0 VertRefresh 48.0 - 160.0 Option "dpms" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "nvidia" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Videocard0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection
